The history of medicine is as old as the history of human
civilization. In The Medical Book, popular science writer Clifford
A. Pickover explores 250 milestone discoveries in medicine that
span more than 12,000 years. Whether writing on 'hard science'
topics such as DNA structure, reverse transcriptase and AIDS,
polymerase chain reaction, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or
ideas from the medical fringe such as witch doctors, patent
medicines, bloodletting, and near-death experiences, Pickover
brings insight and acumen to the broad spectrum of medical studies
and makes it understandable to all readers. This volume is
abundantly illustrated in full colour with clinical and historical
art.
